Taylor Garner, Dandenong Stingrays, 8 Jan 94, 186cm, 77kg
Garner has reportedly "come from no-where" this year to be spoken about as someone who will probably be taken in the first round of the draft and is in fact being tipped to go top 10 in the two main phantom drafts here on this board.
Only started playing TAC Cup this year and did so well that he made the Vic Country team and then did so well there, despite dislocating his shoulder in the first game of the carnival, that he went on to be named in the All Australian team. Dislocated his shoulder 4 times during the carnival and even kept one of them to himself, so that he wouldn't have to miss any games, which shows the determination he has to succeed and the guts he has.
Ended up needing a shoulder reco, which kept him out of the finals and the combine testing, but will still probably be taken high.
Is renowned for his strong marking (including hangers) in the forward line, an ability to do freakish things that others wouldn't manage to pull off, his manic tackling and ability to also go onto the ball and win contested possessions. Knightmare likens him to Jimmy Bartel and chris25 likens him to Nat Fyfe.
